I surely would love to be there! Alas, no free time just now. I will be with you in spirit and solidarity for certain though. I do agree the piece is more about the big economic picture and how the afflictions of economic practices over the last 50 years are somewhat in tandem to mistakes made by the music industry. I think most industry has abandoned the notion that their business is based on creating something "valued" by it's customers. Instead seeing higher profit margins as a sanctified right of some kind, oblivious to what the customer actually wants. None of this affects music itself, but rather the business of how it is delivered.

  Ah, all wonderful reminiscences to be sure! Many of the artists you mentioned made my spirit soar so high I thought the earth itself would be transmigrated upon return! It still happens, though it seems a bit tougher with corporate sponsorships and such with the more established artists. Still nothing has the power of music to transform, does it?
